“Don’t you know I bleached” – Wunmi Toriola lashes out on movie set
Nollywood actress Wunmi Toriola lost her composure on a movie set due to the producers’ disregard for her safety during the filming of a dramatic scene.
In the scene, Toriola played a wife being physically abused by her partner. However, the actress became visibly distressed when the intensity of the performance exceeded her boundaries.
She expressed frustration at the producers for not stepping in or requesting a retake, accusing them of valuing the film’s success over her well-being.
She was heard saying:
“Cut na! Or are you all unfortunate? Is it until AY kills me? Because you want to collect AMVCA award? This category is not sponsored. Because of N200K, cut Brother Mojeed. Do you want to wound me? Don’t you know I bleached?”
The clip, which has since gone viral, has drawn mixed reactions from fans and industry insiders. While some sympathized with Toriola, emphasizing the importance of actor safety on set, others questioned her choice of words, particularly her remark about her bleached skin.

Another user @Brightgoldenboy penned: “I no dey hear yoruba, but I hear this one and he choke. No be die she come die, na film she come act.”
